Qicap.ai

Software Developer

Apr 2025Jun 2025 · 2 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India · On-site

  • At QiCAP.Ai (HFT), I design and develop ultra-low-latency systems tailored for high-performance trading environments. My core contributions include engineering a custom FlatHashMap optimized with open addressing and backshift deletion, benchmarked against leading libraries (absl, eastl, ankerl) to meet stringent throughput and latency requirements of real-time trading strategies.
  • Beyond systems engineering, I’ve led key DevOps initiatives including the design and deployment of a production-grade audit trail system using the ELK stack, implemented Redis ACLs for secure state management, and containerized infrastructure using Docker with configuration automation via Ansible and Terraform.
  • On the business infrastructure side, I built end-to-end reporting pipelines within our private cloud to analyze daily SLURM job data and trader compute behavior. This involved generating real-time cost and utilization dashboards, identifying under- or over-provisioned compute usage, and dynamically aligning vCPU/memory allocation per individual trader requirements. These systems directly supported infrastructure cost optimization, resource right-sizing, and scalability planning—delivering actionable insights for the firm's trading resource governance.
  • Additionally, I collaborated with the RMS (Risk Management System) team to implement a robust trade reconciliation system ensuring alignment of manual square-offs with exchange records—strengthening auditability and compliance across trade operations.
  • Also, I developed a Python-based monitoring solution for the IT/Ops team that automatically flags unresolved issues from daily trading operations, tracks resolution duration, and generates actionable alerts—empowering real-time incident response and improving system reliability.
